8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 218y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Three-time winner over 1m4f, most recently at Pontefract (good) last month; bumped into very well-handicapped rival when second at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago and looks interesting over this new trip. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 2m 0f 32y Class 5 |

Promising start for this yard before two lesser efforts (latterly behind a Prescott good thing); returning to further on slow ground should be beneficial. |
11/2 |

4th 5 (13) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
First two Flat runs for this yard were fairly encouraging, beaten 3l over C&D in June and second of 11 at Pontefract (1m4f, good) the following month; lacked the gears at Musselburgh last time but he's still of some interest. |
7/2 |

3rd 3 (3) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Two encouraging Flat runs for new stable, latterly when second of 11 at Pontefract (1m4f, good) 24 days ago; 1lb higher today but still holds stronger claims than many. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Plenty of minor honours this term, mostly at 1m4f; one 1m6f attempt casts doubt on him over this new trip and it's hard to ignore that this is his 31st attempt to get off the mark. |
5/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |

Largely running well this season but only eighth of 12 in 1m4f Newcastle handicap last month; more is needed if he's to gain a first win at the 30th attempt. |

8th 9 (2) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |

28-race maiden but he has been running with credit, finishing in the frame on his last eight starts; acts on AW and he makes more appeal than some. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Made it 2-40 when winning by a neck at Beverley (1m2f, good) three weeks ago; wouldn't normally be an obvious one to follow up, but she is only 2lb higher and the runner-up has won since; shortlisted. |
9/2 |

1st 9 (6) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Only 1-39 and last two runs over 2m and 1m4f were underwhelming; did run quite well in two starts during April so can't be dismissed; 1lb out of the weights. |
8/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
27th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Sole win from 38 starts came over 7f at Lingfield in 2022 but she has posted some good efforts this year, including when runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) last month; however, she was disappointing at Southwell (2m, AW) 29 days ago and needs to bounce back returned to this shorter trip. |

Sole success came in June 2024 but he arrives in decent nick, fifth of 11 in C&D handicap ten days ago; not out of things. |
7/1 |
|
5th 10 (3) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-15 since winning a Newcastle maiden (7f, AW) as a 2yo, but was beaten less than a length into third of eight at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) 12 days ago; could play a part if building on that. |
10/1 |

3rd 9 (1) |
25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |

14-race losing run now stretches back two years, with no trip this year (tried between 7f and 1m6f, including C&D) provoking a revival. |

9st 4lb |
Two wins at Leicester this year (1m2f/1m4f) and a close third of eight at Brighton (1m4f, good) a fortnight ago; 0-12 on the AW, though, and has never attempted this far; risky. |
7/1 |

3rd 5 (4) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |

Won 1m4f/1m2f handicaps this year and latest fourth at Leicester wasn't too bad a run; no reason why he shouldn't be on the scene. |

28th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Six-time Southwell winner, latterly for regular partner Elle-May Croot over this trip in the spring; never been the most consistent (that hasn't changed with age) and can pull hard but he always needs factoring in at this level. |
7/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Easy C&D win for regular partner Elle-May Croot in March came off 1lb higher; typically inconsistent since but has claims on his latest turf effort as he chases a seventh course win. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 115y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Often a front-runner and the last six of his seven wins were on Southwell AW, with the latest in March; Elle-May Croot knows him especially well and he's back 1lb below his last winning mark but the return to Southwell (from turf) for latest outing did not spark an upturn; best watched at present. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Well handicapped on her two turf wins (1m4f/1m6f) last summer and she got back on track with a close fourth at Chepstow (1m4f, good to soft) last month; this is a different test but she's versatile ground-wise and has form at up to 2m; in the mix. |
8/1 |
|
4th 7 (5) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Well handicapped on her two turf wins (1m4f/1m6f) last summer, but she's been out of sorts in last four runs and was beaten 11l at Yarmouth last time; has something to prove and she needs to turn things around. |
25/1 |
|
7th 7 (3) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 17y Class 6 |

An 8yo who hasn't been at her best of late, on slow and fast ground; however, very capable off this sort of mark if staging a revival. |

31st Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Easy win at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in March but not at that level in six runs since; minor money perhaps his best hope. |

|
3rd 6 (4) |
17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |

Scored at Southwell (1m4f) in March but only ninth of 11 in handicap over C&D ten days ago; not proving the easiest to catch right of late. |
20/1 |

9th 6 (11) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Easily landed an amateur riders' event at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in March and wasn't beaten far into fourth of 12 in a similar contest at Ripon (1m4f, good) last time, but he still needs more in order to come out best here. |

4th 7 (1) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Handful of fair efforts in the spring but he's a longstanding maiden who's lost his way of late; again hung left at Hamilton last Thursday (ended up on the stands' rail) and running at another right-handed course would be a worry. |
10/1 |
|
4th 7 (4) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Placed a few times this year but well beaten at Newcastle two starts ago and she hung badly left and unseated her rider at Ripon last Thursday; remains a maiden after 20 starts and others make greater appeal. |

0-11, but has shown some ability and didn't seem to lack for stamina when a close fourth of six at Beverley (1m4f, good) a fortnight ago; could make the frame again. |
16/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Ten-race maiden but she ran one of her better races when second of seven (beaten 3l) here over 8.5f 27 days ago; doesn't appear to be crying out for this step up in trip but she has claims if seeing it out. |
15/2 |
|
2nd 8 (6) |
27th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
First real signs of promise when fourth in a couple of minor AW events in March; not at her best 16 days ago and she is not a solid option back on turf. |
